I think that at this moment,
maybe nobody in the universe is thinking of me.
I'm the only one who's thinking me,
and if I were to die now,
nobody, not even I, would think me.
And this is where the abyss begins,
as when I go to sleep.
I'm my own support and I take it away from me.
I help to curtain everything with absence.
This may be why
when you think of someone
it's like saving them.
